How do you get a copy of an earlier revision of a file in Mercurial without making that the new default working copy of the file in your workspace?
I've found the hg revert command and I think it does what I want but I'm not sure.
I need to get a copy of an earlier revision of my code to work with for a few minutes. But I don't want to disturb the current version which is working fine.
So I was going to do this:
hg revert -r 10 myfile.pls
Is there a way to output it to a different directory so my current working version of the file is not disturbed? Something like:
hg revert -r 10 myfile.pls > c:\temp\dump\myfile_revision10.pls
